Eurochamp 2020

EUROCHAMP-2020 aims at further integrating the most advanced European atmospheric simulation chambers into a world-class infrastructure for research and innovation. The project is composed by a coordinated set of networking activities, which deliver improved chamber operability across the infrastructure, as well as standard protocols for data generation and analysis. Trans-national access is provided to sixteen different chambers and four calibration centres, becoming the core of the project. Joint research activities enhance the capability of the infrastructure to provide improved services for users. Cooperation with the private sector a fundamental pillar of the project, and it is necessary to exploit the innovation potential of the infrastructure by supporting development of scientific instruments, sensor technologies and de-polluting materials. Overall, EUROCHAMP-2020 has the goal to significantly enhance the capacity for exploring atmospheric processes and ensure that Europe retains its place in atmospheric simulation chamber research.

QUAREC chamber successfully moved to a new lab - Friday, June 22, 2018

Last week the our partner BUW moved the QUAREC simulation chamber to a lab in a new building on the main campus. Since its set-up more than 25 years ago, this is the first time it has been moved: it is well known that quartz is a very sensitive material. Therefore, a specialized company was hired to move the reactor without dismantling it, i.e. “in one piece”.

Registration and abstract submission are open! The symposium will be held in France, in the town of Lille from the 22nd– 26th July 2018.

The conference traditionally provides an open forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research on a wide range of topics related to gas-phase chemical kinetics. An ad-hoc session will be dedicated to simulation chamber studies and on SAR.

Important date: Abstract submission ends April 16th, the outcome will be announced to the submitters beginning May.

Our partner FORTH has opened a Postdoctoral position at the Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences (ICE) and University of Patras, Greece. To know more about it, please read here!
